So both. I have the most meticulously planned 90% complete projects.

Same guy who owns the matchless g50 I took some pics of last month, brought this over to the shed to improve the brakes.

That's my dad myself and my office gut getting the italian master to work with the british caliper.

I was so geeked out about all the details, I only took a pic of the gear change lever, quaife six speed box behind it well.

Bike did 147mph at it's last race.

Clever girl..

I think it's cool as fuck, i'd print and ride the street version, adding perhaps some tensioned threaded rod in critical spots. Also probably a little more R&D into that front end, equal length arms make the ride a bit crude.

Just need a fuckn really expensive massive printer!

Thanks, goes super well with the purple frame (stickers by my then 4yo)

Yep, ripped around a hard right, then merged onto dual carrigeway for all of 40 seconds of flatout (bike is to slow to legally travel there) pulled off and when I went to change down it went clack instead of snick, I stopped and looked, lucky is right.

what's funny is the other end is massivly over braked, 200mm floating disc, radially mounted 4 piston caliper and a radial master cylinder.

On a bike that can do (GPS verified!)

96km/h

 

new swingarm, trapped the engine breather, popped out the kickstart seal, lost an alarming amount of oil, unfortunately the engine survived, so i still can't buy a zs190 :(

 

This little video has been extra motovation to tart up my Dax, I'm nearly done too.

The smaller it is, the more power, and the sooner you melt the piston from the retained heat/pressure.

Don't think of two stokes as three simple moving parts, they are one almighty pipe and a not that important engine.

I'll look them up soon, thanks!

Got an sv08 as an upgrade from a ender 3 v2, it's quite the improvement, it's been faultless, hit print and forget.

Negatives are the firmware updates (Files could be way better organized/handled) and I suppose if sovol ever dissappeared getting nozzles might be a pain.

Really glad I got it.

Motorcycle rides are the best gym&diet, I can forget to eat on my days out, but if you want to lose weight quicker and have fun, get a trail bike and get muddy!

 

Guess what I did wrong?

Eacaped the house to go look at bikes and talk crap about bikes, found this matchless g50 IOM racer, 1 of 3 apprently but I forgot to ask what made it that rare.

Well used v-rod and a trx850

Modern stuff I liked

Bikes of my era I was drooling over

And some grom's I parked my Dax next to.

 

I was missing the track, but without a "proper" bike what were we to do?

Yeah go on the grocery getters, just the kick in the butt needed to get the above gold pitbike ready after not getting finished over the last two years, only beakdown was the shock coming undone, even the knobblies were good enough! my purple Dax didn't miss a beat, and after an hour and a half of track time we were both also beat.

(Alright to cross post like this between groups?)

Did ya ever nick your dads bike and go for a sedate spin to the beach for ice-cream? has to be sedate, she's 60 years old now, runs like a watch. with loud exhausts coz' them internals have long rotted away :)

Think I'd better bring home some ice-cream.

 

Taken in a hurry with my phone, probably the most photographed place on earth, but I hadn't seen it before. Do you know where I am?

Really wish I had packed a better camera on this holiday.

Upgrades! (infosec.pub)

Weather's great so, uh, take bike appart and hit it with the angle grinder?

Really didn't want to ditch the six pot brakes, I feel it's such a 90's thing, but brakes that work are a useful feature, and an overhaul now is 8 seal and pistons, not 12 seals and pustons.

Actually might finish it after lunch.

 

Finally got it out of the box, setup, explore the new features, amazed at those, and the extreme exhaust fan noise.

So what do I do with this monster that I couldn't do with my ender 3? yup bag clips.

 

Just finished up in my shed, came in and washed my hands over the sink which contained my favorite coffee mug, washed mug as well and had my coffee, it's tastes of petrol.

Lord tests me.
